It was here that, in 1659, the conference was held which brought an end to the long war between France and Spain which persisted even after general European peace was established by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, The island was then exactly in the middle of the river, and great care was taken to build the special pavilion erected for the use of the negotiators in the exact center of the island, which, it was agreed, should be: recognized asl belonging half to France and halt to Spain, The principal actors in the . drama of 1659 were Mazarin and Louis | XIV. on the French side, and Don Luis . de.Haro and - Philip IV, for Spain.

Graf Zeppelin Adds to Long Log Big German Dirigible's Trip to Arctic Caps Remark- able Record of World Voyages By Lauren D. Lyman, in the N. Y. Times, The Grat Zeppelin, which recently has been nosing about in the North Polar regions, although no lomger a novelty, is still one of the marvels of this aeronautical age. Finished in September, 1928, Graf started on her career as a world rover the following month and since then has flown close to 125,000 miles, has carried about 2,000 passengers and has returned many thousands of dollars in mail, freight and passenger tariffs to her owners. She cost about $800,000 and, although during her eventful career she has triumphantly vindicated Dr. Eckener's confidence in lighter-than-air craft, she has been close to disaster on two occasions. Once, members of her own crew saved her and another time a detachment of French soldiers, hastily mustered as a ground crew, went to her rescue in Southern France when propeller shafts on several motors cracked at the start of one of her six transatlantic voyages. Off to a Good Start The first voyage of the Grat Zeppe- lin started suspiciously enough, With sixty-one persons aboard, including the eighteen passengers, and nearly a ton of pay load in the form of mail and goods, the Graf left Friedrichshafen on Oct, 11, 1928. She cruised slowly across Europe over France to the Mediterranean during the day and then huggéd the coast line, crossing near Gibraltar to the African coast and then went out to sea, Weather to the north was not the best and Dr. Eckener guided the big dirigible on a southerly route for the first 1,000 miles of the ocean crossing. Everything went well until the Graf reached the vicinity of Bermuda and started north toward Lakehurst. Then, caught in the grip of vertical air cur- rents, the Graf swung out of its paral- lel plane almost to the perpendicular, Young Knut Eckener, son of the com- mander, was at the helm. In the cabins, passengers were tossed about as they never had been on a liner. Slowly the big ship responded, but the strain on the tail surfaces was too great. The fabric on the lower side of the port fin ripped and the wind, getting inside, whipped up a small hurricane and tore its way through the upper side of the fin, rending scores of square yards of the heavy cotton cloth. In two hours, however, the agile sailors had cut away shreds from the big fin and had bound the edges to the duralumin frame. They were swinging around up there over the water in violent wind and rain with every chance of falling and no chance of rescue if they had fallen. The airship reached land over the Virginia coast and came north to dock at Lakehurst 111 hours and 38 min- utes after leaving Friedrichshafen. On the way back Dr. Eckener elected a northern route and followed the Great Circle. 'The return trip was made in 68 hours and 46 minutes. came in March, 1929, when the Graf Zeppelin, with a passenger list of Asia Minor and return, a distance of 4,968 miles, with everything working smoothly. Two months later came as a preliminary to a world voyage. The start of the delayed voyage came on Aug. 8, and she made the westward passage to Lakehurst by the southern route in 98 hours, fiying 5,185 miles, Three ih ete spent In Bonen SLoed he Setort urea ing trip around the world, That fourth ship travel that still stands--b6 hours change sud handed the groom.

The course lay north of Moscow, and to Viatka the airship followed the 60th parallel. Then, entering Siberia, Eck- ener elected a Great Circle course, cutting up as far as Lat. 63 and then down again over Ajan and Nikolaie- vek and across to Tokyo. The dis- tance was 6,880 miles, and the airship made it in 101 hours 50 minutes, ar- riving Aug. 19. Four days later the airship started for the United States. Following gen- erally the Great Circle course be- tween the 40th and 50th parallels, she made the Pacific crossing in 66 hours 12 minutes between Tokyo and San Francisco, After circling San Francisco Bay the airship continued to Los Angeles, com- pleting this 5,500-mile leg in 78 hours 659 minutes. Here several members of the crew left the airship to lighten the load across the high plateau re- glon of the Southern United States. Coming by way of Texas, she visited El Paso, then swung north over Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Akron, arriving at Lakehurst the morning of Aug. 29, twenty-one days and a few hours after the start. It was a great achievement, and the record stood until this Summer, when Post and Gatty made the trip in a little more than eight and a half days in an airplane. The return flight to Friedrichshafen was uneventful, the Graf completing it in 67 hours 9 min- utes. Last year the dirigible made per- haps its most significant voyage when it flew with mail, goods and passen- gers from Friedrichshafen to Pernam- buco, Brazil, in four days. It contin. ued to Rio de Janiero and then turned north for Lakehurst, and after a refuel- ing stop, for which the navy charged at the rate of $2,000 a day, the wan- derer again sailed for home. The In that trip, which covered close to 16,000 miles, the airship stopped at ports in four countries, and Dr, Eck- ener announced that an airship ser- vice connecting Europe with the South American markets on a three-day schedule was feasible. . This "scheme is to be tried with three round trips this year, according to Lufthansa plans, in which planes and airships will combine to speed the tra- velers and the air freight, --tfe -- Vegetables Called Secret Of Quiet Life in China Peiping.--Chinese men and women take life easier than Americans or Europeans, because they eat vege- tables almost entirely, is the opinion of Dr, H, Necheles, German research physician, who has completed several months of study of Chinese diet and its effect upon the race at the Peiping Ulonn Medical College here, Dr, Necheles came to China from Chicago, where he had made similar studies of the effect of diet upon be- havior, He is returning to Europe to carry his studies further, Experiments here have convinced Dr. Necheles that diet will explain many important Chin- ese characteristics, as well as those of Americans and other races.
